Chapter 8: Into the Dragon and the Serpent (Part II)

As if in an instant, all the light between heaven and earth was absorbed, and the silver glow of the ground before was like mercury now became dark and dim, and in Lao Liu's eyes, this silver spring, which represented the unyielding vitality of life, completed a similar transformation in an instant, from one extreme to another, into a viscous thing like oil in the brain's memory.

Darkness descended on the cave, and the previously bright butter candlelight in the cave was suppressed by a speed visible to the naked eye, only illuminating a distance of less than a meter near itself, and barely seeing the silhouette of a human figure in front of it, and the rest of the place was swallowed up by darkness.

The oil-like mass began to disperse like a fishing net, and in a few breaths a huge black net was laid within the huge cavern, with silver stars shining in specks on it, and then all the stone walls in the cavern disappeared, leaving only a huge net overhead.

There was an aura of obscurity and confusion everywhere throughout the entire vast net, and Elder Andulan could feel even the free and lively elements in the air stop jumping in horror and stand still.

After thinking for a moment, the elder looked up and saw that on the huge web covering the moon sky, in the shadow that shrouded people's hearts, a fat figure slowly descended, a huge black spider, with the help of eight long thorn legs to cut through the void and step down from the giant web.

On top of the fat spider body, it turned out to be a mature female body that was extremely beautiful. The woman's waist was attached to the spider's head, where it should have been two long legs, but now there were eight red compound eyes, and a pair of giant claws that would make any living creature fearful.

The woman's figure was perfect to the extreme, and the silver-white spider silk outlined an incomparably luxurious bust on her upper body, which was dotted with countless mystical runes, revealing the alluring carcass under the armor, holding a small round shield in her right hand and a slender bone staff in her left hand.

On the shield, there seemed to be countless souls condensed, and wisps of cold air visibly rose from the uneven shield surface, with a howl that made the soul terrifying to the extreme, like a soulful soul in the bottomless abyss in the infinite level of the legend. At the top of the slender bone staff, inlaid with the skull of an elven girl, her eyes and mouth are tightly closed, but it can bring supreme oppression and trembling. As the master of it all, her pointed ears and dark skin with a faint red color have also long indicated her origins~ Dark Drow Elf.

At this moment, not only Elder Andulan, but even Lao Liu, who had always been lonely and unheard, recognized the origin of the thing in front of him, which was the supreme god served by the dark elves in the legends of the Aegean Continent~ Queen Spider Rose.

Unlike the previous Dark Maiden, who symbolized the light and pursuit in the hearts of the dark elves, Rose the Spider was the embodiment of death, destruction, and torment, suspicious and moody by nature, a true evil god.

Liu Zhenzhen was not panicked in his heart, he knew Lu Xihua's origin, and he vaguely guessed Lu Xihua's thoughts, but he scared Elder Andulan a lot, and in a panic, he saw that Richard was as calm as ever before he forced his hairy heart, he didn't believe that the shrewd Richard would do the stupid thing of abandoning the god of war, defecting to the evil god, and sacrificing living beings. Moreover, although the body of the god in front of him is very similar to the ancient legend, it lacks agility, like an empty shell without a soul, and there must be something different in it.

Sure enough, just as Rose raised the bone staff in his hand and was about to swing it, a flame broke and tore from the space, and from top to bottom, countless sparks emerged, breaking open the space that condensed the body of the spider queen Rose, and suddenly the entire space seemed to be a torn picture scroll burst into flames.

In the blink of an eye, the light returned, and the whole meeting room was back to its original appearance, with oil lamps, tables and chairs, and even cigars in everyone's hands still smoking as always, and less than a third of the rum on the table remained, as if nothing had happened before.

Liu Zhenzhen raised his glass and saluted Lu Xihua, drank it in one gulp, and applauded, "The trick is good, if you are unemployed in the future, you can consider going to the palace to perform for the noble lords of Beamon, you will definitely not be hungry, maybe you can catch a few noble ladies of Beamon, provided that your body can eat." ”

"Thank you for the compliment, it's not easy to mix these days, there are too many things to work on, and you need to know a few crafts. Lu Xihua echoed Lao Liu, this person originally had a big personality, and the emperor took turns to do it, and he came to my house this year.

Liu Zhenzhen couldn't see it, it didn't mean that Andulan couldn't see it, this former fifth-order fire dragon was respected by the mainland as the "Frost Dancer", and that was definitely a title that could only be occupied by a genius who could have extremely high attainments in the traditional magic of the ice and fire systems.

"It's not magic!" Elder Andulan overturned Richard's joke and said with certainty, "It's a void creation! The form of the two elven gods just now is a real gold and silver entity structure, and that kind of powerful and surging magic power can't hide from me, an old man, it should belong to the legendary magic form, and it is the same as an elemental creature! This level of body is no longer flesh and blood, but purely composed of elements, and among the dragon clan, only the legendary seventh-order gem dragon can compare with it." It's just that there's something missing in there. Well, souls! Yes, there is a lack of souls! If there is any difference between the two bodies and the true incarnation of the gods, it is the soul, or the divinity! That's all, who are you?!"

With a wave of his hand, a cluster of transparent flames burst out from behind him, scorching the space behind him, but there was no temperature.

Streams of clear flame light were mixed with thunder, and four spherical imaginary objects swirled slowly behind them.

In each sphere, countless human beings, countries, societies, skies, continents, and oceans flash in turn, like independent worlds.

Liu Zhenzhen was really stunned this time, he saw in it what he was familiar with, planes, artillery, warships, and even the ordinary lives of ordinary people in modern and ancient times.

Elder Andulan looked at this dream-like scene, and couldn't help but say two words in his dry mouth, "God... Country?"

Lu Xihua put his hand on the table, tapped it gently, and after a little consideration, he said, "In your understanding, what is a god, and what is divinity?"

This question seems to be a question, but in fact it is probably an answer, an answer to how living beings become gods, an answer that has been sought by countless wise and powerful people of the intelligent race for hundreds of thousands or even millions of years.

Elder Andulan calmly pulled a chair and sat down, he vaguely felt that there was a great opportunity in front of him, a mysterious person who was almost like a god was about to unravel this mystery, and after that, I am afraid that the Fei Leng Emerald will gather all the stars and worship it, and this place will become the center of the Aegean ceremony.

And himself, this dragon deserter who has long looked down on life and resolutely abandoned the dragon form and turned into a tortoiseshell monk, will he also have the opportunity to touch the unattainable legend?

If the legend ever exists.

Elder Andulan's heart was pounding, and he finally suppressed his mood before he spoke, "I have lived for more than four thousand years, traveled to many places, and come into contact with the secret texts of many sects. No matter how various families try to cover it up, there is always one fact that cannot be changed, that is, in this world, the evolution of the beliefs of living beings can be roughly divided into three stages. ”

Lao Liu was originally an outsider, he accidentally crossed into this world, the only goal at the beginning was to live, after accidentally becoming a priest and having his own fiefdom, the next goal is to work hard to promote to the upper level, contact the secret history of the continent's civilization, and see if he can find a chance to return to the original world.

And now, a monk who is the elder he respects the most, who has lived for more than 4,000 years and has seen countless ups and downs, and a man surnamed Lu, who is suspected to be from the same Chinese civilization and has countless powers in his gestures, everyone is sitting together, and the topic of casual conversation is actually about the mysteries of the gods.

I always thought that the gods were the infinite sublimation of the ancient powerhouses of the intelligent race, exaggerating the facts at that time, and raising the history of heroes to the height of mythology, but now it seems that it is very likely that this is not the case, which makes him have a little ambition in his heart: Is there a chance for Lao Tzu to come too?! Even if he can't become a god, he should always be able to walk sideways in the Aegean continent if he knows a few fairy-like friends, right?

Therefore, Lao Liu, who was full of anticipation, also pricked up his ears and listened very carefully, remembering the last time he was so attentive, it was the night he eavesdropped on his brother and sister-in-law's cave room.

"In the first stage, there is basically no difference in what is described in the many texts, and all the creatures of the world agree that this world was created by the great Creator. Whatever the Creator is, He exists. Andulan began to speak slowly.

"This is the instinctive worship of the soul of all beings for an unknown, after all, it was the Creator who shaped the whole world out of the void, and then created many creatures including dragons, phoenixes, titans, elves, tree people, Beamon, and so on, and the world can be considered alive. ”()
